FAQs

Georgian page turners and paper knives gained popularity during the 18th century alongside the rise of bound books, correspondence, and personal libraries.

While luxury examples were forged from sterling silver, others from the period utilised materials such as ivory, bone, tortoiseshell, and exotic hardwoods.

Authenticity is determined by examining hallmarks, including the makers mark, assay office stamp, and date letter, alongside observing natural age-related wear and patination.

Placed atop a stack of vintage books on a mahogany desk or coffee table, it serves as a sophisticated functional object and conversation piece.

Silver should be cleaned infrequently using a non-abrasive microfibre cloth and specialised polish, avoiding harsh chemical dips that strip the historic patina.
